With its Gothic-style facade and rich history of being home to notable New Yorkers, the Hotel des Artistes co-op at 1 West 67th Street is a Manhattan icon. This freshly renovated 1,800-square-foot duplex was converted to a one-bedroom home with gracious proportions and luxurious details, highlighted by a perfectly curated color palette. Asking $4,495,000, the decidedly not-beige pre-war home comes with a separate guest/staff room on the same floor.
Past an elegant, jewel-toned foyer, the living room opens beneath double-height ceilings that reach 19 feet. Classic casement windows frame the light-filled space. Beautifully-designed details historic and new include antique and custom light fixtures, restored hardware, door knobs, and light switches, custom window treatments, and remote-controlled window shades.
The home’s beamed and painted ceilings, restored by Smithsonian conservators, frame a carved stone wood-burning fireplace. Behind the scenes, central A/C cools the space in summer.
Pocket doors separate the living room from the deliciously-appointed dining room. A balcony offers a place to step outside and gaze at the dome of the church next door. The stunning kitchen features ruby-hued millwork and colorful floor tiles, anchored by a crimson La Cornue range with a copper-clad venting hood.
Up an intricately carved wood staircase, the bedroom suite offers a sliver of Central Park through historic casement windows. The full-floor suite is graced with a dressing room large enough to be converted to a small bedroom, and a marble-clad primary bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. On the same floor is a separate staff room with a half bath and washer/dryer that can easily be replaced by a shower.
Built in 1917, Hotel des Artistes has been home to luminaries like Noel Coward, Isadora Duncan, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell, and Joel Grey, among others.
In addition to residential icon status, the pet-friendly building offers an unbeatable menu of amenities, including a fitness center, squash court, swimming pool, roof deck, and bike storage. Discounted dining rates and room service are available to residents from the adjacent Leopard restaurant.
